Bank of Korea expects ’significant’ economic shock even after US trade deal SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea’s central bank expects a "significant" economic shock from higher U.S. tariffs even after a trade deal, it said on Thursday, citing comparably steeper tariff hikes versus rival exporters and high exposure to product-specific duties. "Despite a comparably successful negotiation, the average tariff rate the U.S. imposes on our country rose greatly to around 15%, from zero tariffs under the previous Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement," the Bank of Korea (BOK) said in a report. "Therefore, a significant shock is expected for the domestic economy highly dependent on U.S.-bound exports," it said. The BOK estimated the impact of U.S. tariff policies on economic growth at a negative 0.45 percentage point and 0.60 percentage point for this year and next year, respectively, reflected in its annual growth projections of 0.9% for 2025 and 1.6% for 2026. In late July, Seoul reached a trade deal with President Donald Trump that set U.S. tariffs on imports from the Asian ally at 15%, lower than the previous threat of 25% but higher than the baseline 10% that had been in place. Compared with Trump’s earlier tariff threats in April, South Korea was granted a tariff cut that was the ninth-biggest among 50 major exporters to the U.S., the BOK said, based on its estimates of changes in average tariff rates. 3rd party Ad.

Some experts warn that if global allies start offloading their USD reserves—totalling several trillion dollars—it could further devalue the dollar and destabilize global markets. A coordinated sell-off would force a major policy pivot. #USD #GlobalMarkets #EconomicShock
